well guys i was out of the city for work last week and when i returned home, turns out my 4 year old daughter planned a party with her 1 year old sister and decided to "accidentally" break the stylus of my much beloved shure cartridge.
the problem is that the cartridge cost me 55 bucks and now i see the stylus go for 40. i was wondering if there is a cheaper option out there. the reason i do not want to spend the 40 bucks is because i just purchased a denon dl 110 an will probably leave the shure as a backup cart. on a side note i am currenly running a stanton 500 while the denon gets here and i gotta say that the shure runs circle around it soundwise i am hurting and missing the clearness and resolution of the shure (compared to the stanton).
so please let me know if there is a generic stylus out there that does not sacrifice a lot of sound quality for this cart. otherwise i will have to sell it without stylus, that would hurt since it is pretty much brand freaking new.
sorry for tha rambling,
eduardo
